A video has revealed a Rochester Police officer assisting Border Patrol and Homeland Security during a traffic stop, an action city officials claim violates policy.
The incident occurred Monday night at Lyell Avenue and Whitney Street, where officers made individuals exit a van and helped handcuff them, against city regulations.
An internal investigation is underway, with body-worn camera footage under review.
Chief Smith indicated that the names of the involved officers would be released later, while the police union defended their actions, asserting that the officers were simply performing their duties.
The incident has sparked ongoing discussions about police policy and training.
